[Chemical study of nucleosides on Cordyceps militaris].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the nucleosides of Cordyceps militaris. METHODS: The primary extract technique of nucleosides from Cordyceps militaris was founded, the nucleosides were isolated by chromatography. RESULTS: Four compounds were isolated from the mycelium of Cordyceps militaris. They were identified as uridine (1), adenosine (2), guanosine (3) and p-tyrosine (4), respectively. CONCLUSION: Compounds 1, 2 and 3 are the main nucleosides in Cordyceps militaris.
